In the summer it's a fun place to be because the casinos are right on the boardwalk, which is right on the ocean. And they have newer clubs and bikini beach bars and stuff.

In the winter it can get pretty quiet though, because the year-round shore population is generally older. So I guess to answer your question, it's fairly easy to live somewhere else with more of a lively population year round. For instance, you can get to AC from Philly in about 40 minutes.
